Michael Pena“Some horror movies are just for shock value, so it doesn't really feel scary.”
Michael Pena“I don't think people are experiencing superhero fatigue. Do you hear people complaining that there are too many action movies? I think it's good entertainment.”

Michael Pena“It was an event whenever 'CHiPs' would come on in my house. There wasn't a lot of Latin people being hired to star in TV shows or movies back in the day. Not only was it a fun show, there was a Latino starring in it - so we thought it was extra cool.”
Michael Pena“'War on Everyone,' I think... the script was hilarious to me, but it's very dark, dark humor. It's super dark.”
